These awards were presented today at Toyota’s 13th ABM at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, bringing together approximately 500 of Toyota’s North American suppliers. In the U.S., there are approximately 63,000 supplier jobs in 38 states that are dedicated to Toyota. Toyota collectively spent nearly $30 billion on parts, goods and services last year in North America.

The ABM is an opportunity for Toyota and its suppliers to communicate objectives for the current year, enhance relationships and recognize top suppliers who exceeded the company’s expectations in the following areas: Quality, Value Improvement, Supplier Diversity, Technology and Launch Performance.

“Toyota values the contribution of our 500 North American suppliers,” said Tetsuo Agata, president of TEMA. “We are grateful for their continued support during these difficult economic times. Our future success here is directly linked to the success of our suppliers.”
